Oh..my...GOODNESS! These are sooooo totally amazing! I can't get that type of precision with regular sized blocks let alone something that small. You are a super quilter!.....and one VERY patient person!

Great work! They are terrific. I'm taking a class with Carol Doak on Saturday and can't wait. I have her mini book and plan to try some of them. I'll post the class project when it is finished. I was lucky enough to have all the fabrics in my stash.

At Rhonda: how do I downsize any pattern at this blocksize? I cant figure how to make a 1.5inch block out of two or three paperpiece fragments.......
And where do you get fabric with thiny prints on it?

Tiny print is hard to find. I can send you some scraps if you send me your address by pm NOT on this public part tho :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
As for downsizing that would depend on what you want to do. You find the patterns you want to downsize and let me see them and I can get a better idea of if I can help downsize them.
I don't do paper piece but I think we can figure it out anyway.
I would be happy to come up with some designs if you want, I love to design and jump at any chance to play!!! LOL
I use 1" blocks to make a 2 1/2" finished quilt block if that would interest you. You can do a sampler this way with 4 quilt blocks. When you use my Bostons in a 1" or the star point blocks you can get some interesting looks.
There are tons of miniatare quilt ideas online. Just type in miniature quilts magazines in a search engine and you can see lots of ideas that way.
